Hoya Carnosa aka Porcelain Flower Plant for sale. This is actually two plants, and could be separated if you so desire. Hoyas are slow growers, until they aren't and randomly produce long vining shoots seemingly overnight. They are my favorite plant of all to grow, and when they flower the blooms are beautiful, hence the name. They like to be in small, constricted pots, so no need to transplant for a while. I did give her fresh soil recently. Other plants available as well, check out my marketplace profile, Sasha Garcia (tagged) to see other listings. I am moving so must sell a lot of my personal plants as well!! Located in Woodland Park. IM me on either profile with questions. Hoya is $25.

There are some great uses for citrus peels here. Tons of everyday food scraps can be repurposed for the garden. The key is to grind them up and dry them out so that they can't create any mold. You don't want them rotting unless they are in the compost pile! Compost teas are another great way to add the nutrients to your plant care routine.

The list of citrus peel uses in the garden is endless. Citrus peels can be used in the garden to help plants grow healthier and more fruit. You would be surprised at what a difference using these citrus peel for your landscaping may make when compared with just throwing them away after eating an ora...

I hear so many people say they don't like xeriscaping , and when I ask them why it turns out what they think of as xeriscaping is filling your yard with loads of those little driveway rocks. That may have been what it meant when it first came around, but not anymore! There's a couple companies in town I saw online that have beautiful pictures of what they can do as far as xeriscaping. The ones I noticed doing a light search were Stone & Flower and Jakes Designs . The images I shared are from their websites. I can also do landscape work, but if you're considering redoing your yard, checkout local companies that do xeriscaping because it is so much more than driveway rocks these days! And it's super low maintenance!
